It's normal as far as I know.

And your plant seems to be really stretching for light. Don't let it stretch too much or put a fan on it to make the main stem stronger.

you can also put more soil in your pot! you got alot of empty spcace in there! put more soil in and the part or the stem thats get coverd will end up sprouting roots off it! and with more soil in there it will steady you plant so it wont start to lean over!

In the seedling stage tall is made. That is called stretching. Put it under aeven a CFL and it will do beter.

okay I have put my plant under a cfl like you guys said. this is how it looked like the first day I put it under the cfl.

and this is how it's looking now after 2 days under the light. the light is actually 2.5 inches away from the plant, I had to move the light to get a better shot.
I am also using a 36w. is that enough?

as mentioned before in this post, make sure you get a fan on it so it can produce the wind needed to grow strong and healthy stems, remember you are trying to recreate nature in your grow space.

I'd get more CFL's and put them closer to the plant. That looks REALLY stretched. Thats boarderline.... much more and it'd be gone. I'd definatly top up with soil coz otherwise im pretty sure it'll just fall and die.

I'd fill the pot up carfully around the stem untill its full to the top. Then i'd give it a good water and then leave it for the rest of the day, just make sure a fan and lights get sorted coz it's still gunner be stretching and not getting and stronger, so it'll just end up falling over as soon as the serrated leaves start growing.
